On the same day that U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy elbowed fellow Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett in the kidney, a fistfight almost broke out in the middle of a Senate hearing.
Teamster boss Sean O’Brien was testifying before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Tuesday, and Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) read a tweet posted by O’Brien in June before challenge him to a fight. .
The tweet read: “Greedy director pretending to be self-made. Really just a clown and a fraud. Always has been, always will be. Leave the tough guy action at these senate hearings.” You know where to find me. Cowboy anywhere, anytime.”
Well, Mullin, who responded to the tweet by accepting the challenge and proposing a mixed martial arts fight for charity, decided that that very moment was as good a time as any and suggested they settle the dispute right then and there.
“You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can end it here,” the Native American senator told O’Brien.

“Okay, fine, perfect,” O’Brien replied. “I’d love to do it right now.”
“Get your ass up then,” a very fit Mullin replied as he stood up.
Committee Chair Bernie Sanders almost lost his socialism-loving mind.
“No, no, sit down! His! You’re a United States senator!” the Vermont independent shouted, before adding: “This is a hearing. And God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress, let’s not make it worse.”
Amy Kremer, co-founder of Women for Trump, tweeted: “Congress is wild this week!”
She wasn’t the only one who noticed something was “off” as things happened physical on Capitol Hill as alleged by Republican Tim Burchett and an NPR reporter.
